This. So much this.
At my company, we give out "values awards". People are frequently lauded for working late evenings and weekends. Everytime this happens, I cringe. If people feel they need to do this, it's a sign that projects were under-resourced or the deadlines were too tight.
At this point in my career, I am so much more comfortable saying "no" to upper management.
"My team does not have capacity for this"
"ok, which piece of work do you want us to drop?"
"Yep, we can do that... next year"
